This is a parents’ group, and the nearest thing to a secret society in the post modern world. Final Quarantine is not particularly organized, but it is frighteningly wide-spread.
The adherents of Final Quarantine believe that, with the plague spreading out of control, the only way to save the future generations of mankind is to quickly and decisively eliminate all contaminated children, thereby hopefully stopping the spread of the plague before it gets everyone. It’s a harsh, cruel choice, but one which the parents feel they have no other choice but to make.
As mentioned, Final Quarantine is not really organized, and in fact the name itself is only rarely used. It was coined by a corporate executive who, writing a report, needed a label to apply to this mentality. Basically, the group is made up of member parents who talk to other parents. They voice their concerns, share insight and facts, and gauge the other parents’ feeling about the plague. Hopefully, they find other parents as concerned about the health of their children as they themselves are. This being done, the member slowly debates alternative plans of action until the parent is convinced that the corporations and the government aren’t doing enough, especially with the activities of strange groups like the Clarkers. The only solution is the immediate and final quarantine of afflicted youth; it’s the only way to save your children.
It’s a damn hard decision for any parent to make, but ultimately it hinges on two unspoken concepts: ‘better them than me’ and ’it’s too late once they’re affected; it’s really a mercy killing’. A strange by-product of this mentality is that once an adherent to the Final Quarantine has actually killed someone else’s plague-ridden kid, they’ll never change their mind again; to do so would be tantamount to admitting that you murdered children, and that’s something that no parent can come to grips with. It is these members who are the most compelling advocates of Final Quarantine, and the ones who garner the greatest number of new recruits (thereby distributing their suppressed guilt among as many new members as possible). Such members have even been known to kill one of their own children to save the rest.
The biggest problem that Final Quarantine presents to the Evolved is that you never know who they’ll be. Anyone could be a member. Anyone from the BuReloc man to the liquor store owner who slips you a few brews, to the vet, to your next door neighbor who coaches your little league, to your baby-sitter — even your parents themselves, which is the worst nightmare for any kid.
Even if a parent cannot be convinced that the Final Quarantine is the only choice for the safety of the future, members will still keep in close contact. In fact, those who do not believe as they do are considered to be weak links, and the members will do everything they can to stay close to these people and project the image of concerned, friendly neighbours—so that when one of their kids does get sick, these parents will let their compassionate neighbours know, giving the Final Quarantine a chance to act before it’s too late.
Note: while primarily a "parents" organisation, FQ is a grass roots movement with a philosophy at it's core that can apply to any non-evolved human on the planet. With the government upping the anti-plague propaganda the FQ viewpoint is spreading in the juve level.
